The Sugar boot fits true to size; that being said, it's still a Mini so it has a nice, wider toe box than some other shoes. This calf is a lace up, which means it's completely adjustable and perfect for any calf!

Description

This 21 eyelet knee-high boot is sweet and spicy at the same time. Not only does it have an open lacing system that will tie you up tight like a corset and show a bit of skin, it also has an inside zipper so you don't really need to use the laces once you've found your fit. Perched on the Mini heel and rubber F-sole, this is a high heel designed for the woman who doesn't wear heels. Solidly constructed with beautiful leather uppers and linings with contrasting piping and a crown peaked top line makes this lover sexy, stable and timeless. Go on, fall in love. We dare you!

Amazing boots

Lucy - London

I bought these a few years ago in New York and I don't think I've ever worn them without someone noticing and complimenting me. I wore them that first evening and a guy ran down the road after me to tell me I had "fabulous shoes". All the way through to this Christmas Eve when my new boyfriend's mother told me how gorgeous they were.

Added to that they're wonderfully comfortable and stable (great for jumping up and down on the dance floor, and for extra height at gigs) and fit a huge variety of calf sizes. For me, where I can't zip up most Fluevog knee-high boots, these are fine with the laces reaching right to the top (though knotted, no extra length for bows). Thankfully they zip too so no need to re-lace each time.

Such a shame they're being discontinued as I know eventually I'd have invested in other colours as well as black. Poor Minis :-(

we're learning to love each other

snunyc - Berkeley, CA

I adore these boots. I have normal/wide calves and narrow ankles. I didn't think I had excessively wide calves until I tried on a few pairs of vog tall boots, which apparently are made for women with stick legs. Long story short, I ended up keeping these even though I have to wear the laces quite open at the calf. I'm still playing around with various lacing options, and may try a ribbon lace. Why, you ask? Because the soft leather hugs my curvy legs like a dream, emphasizing my narrow ankles and shapely calves like no other boots I've ever owned. Also, BTW, the foot fits me to a T, I bough my usual size 6, toe box is roomy and comfortable, heel is narrow and the cute, spool heel design is to die for. These are my fourth purchase from Fluevog and my first pair of tall vog boots. Consider me converted: I doubt I'll ever waste my money on another shoe brand again. Keep in mind, John, that girls with curvy legs like your boots too, and we spend our $$ on your gorgeous designs as much as the girls with skinny legs do!

RED is the color of...

Nina-bo-bina - San Francisco

Salivation over these boots has taken up more of my time than I'm willing to admit. That being said... Well, let's face it, they still make me drool. Outrageously sexy, and comfortable, and sexy, oh and uh, did I mention SEXY? Wore these the first night out to a show in SF, danced my buttocks off, had a complete stranger tell me I was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, and I chalk it up to these babies. As the beautiful Italian actress said, "Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got." Well, I've got these boots and I'm pretty sure people will agree. So if my math is correct... Yup. As with all my Fluevogs (these are my 3rd out of 4 pairs), I generally refuse to take them off at the end of the night. Have I fallen asleep still wearing them in front of the TV at 4 AM after a night out? I'll never tell.

Oh. My. GOD!! Why did I wait 4 months??!?!?!?!?

Clarissa Pruden - Vancouver

There are not enough words to describe this boot!! My cousin showed me a picture of them about 4 months ago and I couldn't get them out of my mind, and avoided the siren call of the store quite successfully. I got a promotion at work and an increase on my credit card, and when I told my husband of my secret desire he said "why haven't you bought them yet?" I went down to the store and its like they were MADE for me! All the reviews were true; beautiful fit, wonderful wide toe box; it doesn't even really feel like you are wearing heels! I was so excited as I left the store (with them on, of course!) I walked 4 blocks in the wrong direction! I was nervous at the price but it was well, WELL worth it! I think I will need to tweek the lacing a bit for optimum fit, but, man, you can tweek the lacing for optimum fit! :D
...now, wonder how they will be to sleep in? ;)

Amazing in red!

Dany - Edmonton

I had put these in layaway in a size 7, thinking that because I have 2 pairs of Hotcakes boots ,one is a 7 in one colour and a 7.5 in another, and because I size down in all the Minis. When I went to the Calgary store and tried the size 7 it was a bit snug in the front so I went with my usual non-Fluevog size which is a 7.5. I was told that maybe the Hotcakes fit me in a 7 because of the lacing at the front, where the Sugar has the lacing and the zipper on the sides. All the footbeds fit me (the size 7 and the 7.5). I might have gone with a 8 and I would recommend to anyone who is a standard non-Fluevog size 7.5 to go with an 8 in these as my feet are very narrow but if you have mid-width or wide feet then size up instead of down as with the other Mini shoes I have (Q-tee, Zaza and Elif, all size 7 except the Zazas wich are too big but still wearable at 7.5)

I got these in the wine red colour. The boots are gorgeous, the leather is soft to the touch, not stiff at all. I've worn them for only a week and haven't had any issues with the zipper as others have reported (knock on wood). They are comfortable as it has been my experience that the Mini family, although perfect for wide feet where mine are narrow, are my favourite family in terms of comfort. When I first got into Vogs I didn't like the Minis, and now I have several of them. I am sure I will be able to wear these in the snow as I do with my Hotcakes.

The only mini-issue (can't help it,lol!) I have is that the lace on my right foot bothers me a bit right on the side (where the round lace is inside and rubs against my skin) but I'm sure that playing with the laces a bit and after the leather stretches it will be fine.

All in all, great quality beautiful boots that I will have and wear and love for years to come.

SEXIEST BOOTS EVER - Fluevogoholic!

Shar Marie - Canada

Confessions of a Fluevogoholic! I am totally addicted. I have owned these boots for years. They have walked the streets of the United Kingdom, New York, Chicago, Quebec, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, California and continue to prance around the world. I adore that these fit my curvy calves as many woman find it difficult to find a boot like this. It is a show stopper I have had men follow me just to be able to comment on my boots. The heel is awesome you will never get caught in a grate on the downtown streets. If you can only purchase one pair of boots I'd suggest these knockout sexy boots.

Sugars

Jo Anne - Vancouver, BC

I wanted these boots the minute I saw them. I couldn't decide whether I should buy - the black or the red so I dragged my husband, my daughter, my son, my sister and brother-in-law into the store to help me decide. The vote was 50/50 so I had to walk away and decide on my own. Went back and got the black ones but always picked up the red whenever I went into a Fluevog store. When in Portland on vacation, my husband said he would buy the red ones for me since he knows that I also wanted them too (smart husband!). Now I have both and love them - big decision is which ones to wear...

A bit too ...

Marlo

Would've been my fourth pair or Fluevogs. But, wouldn't have been easy to make these work with the wardrobe I have. Tried these on for my husband - They were supposed to be my sexy, unique boots (that were also comfortable). Me: "They're sexy, I guess, in a 'Let's go to Comic-Con!' kind of way." Him: "Or ... 'I have a whip.'" . . . "But hey," he said, "that may be what some people are after." :)

Best. Boots. Ever.

Kimberley Boots

I bought these boots online, crossed everything that they would fit (I have 2 other pairs of 'vogs in 8 1/2 so was pretty confident). I am wearing them for the first time today. They are so comfortable. I had been dreading some toe pinching or heel hurting, but I feel so supported and comfortable and I look like an x rated mary poppins and EVERYBODY IS LOVING MY BOOTS. The side laces are genius. I am tempted to get another pair in red.

Sweet surprise!

Samantha - Chicago suburbs

I was having a stressful week at work in the beginning of March so my husband surprised me by ordering me these boots. He teased me with a text video sent to me showing the classic Fluevog box, him opening the box and just showing the tissue paper. He said I had to wait until I got home to see my new pair of 'vogs. Then an hour later another video wher he opened the box, unwrapped the tissue and had replaced my surprise with an old pair of running shoes. I was so excited all day to find out what new pair of Fluevogs I would be wearing! ( my 5th pair) These were a dream come true since I have wanted them forever! They fit like a glove, I got a half size up from my normal 8 based on recommendation of the staff in the California store. I think I could wear these year round they are so much fun and so comfy. Thank you again! Five pairs in five months!

Susan - Sydney

The mini sugar boots are the best boots I have owned! The ability to adjust them to fit your calf is fantastic! They are soft comfortable and very beautiful! Thanks Anthony and Alice for sending them

True Love.

Silvia Gross - Toronto

I have had my black mini sugars for about ten years and worn them for every occasion. Because of the corset lacing they hug my calf like a second skin. The footbed is perfect for my wide feet. The heel is stable and I can walk for hours. I get comliments from strangers every time I wear them. After years of wear I did have to get the rubber soul on the heal replaced and some of the stitching restocked and I took them to the Fluevog store and they did the repairs for 15$ good as new. I have a few Fluevogs but these are my favourite shoes ever.

love love love

Justine

These boots ROCK!!! So worth the money. I purchased the black ones in NYC and wasn't planning on spending $400, but was just looking for high black boots with a heel. I have 'athletic' calves so my choices are limited. The laces on the side and the zipper make these boots perfect. As you wear them and they stretch, you can adjust the laces and tighten them. So perfect for the 'athletic' leg Fluevoger...

Sugar love

Dawn Rodgers - Oklahoma City

My fiancé got me these sugar boots for Christmas in black. They fit perfect and are so comfortable and sexy hot to boot. I have been wanting these for several years. Thanks to my wonderful and thoughtful fiancé Tim my sugar boot dream has come true.

PS

Leigh Ann - Los Angeles

FYI- Size side I am a size 6 1/2-7 in the Mini Q-Tee, Mini Gorgeous and Operetta Mailbrans but the 8 in these fit me better to wear with thick socks. Also, I have a super narrow calf (12") but since these are SUPER adjustable in the ankle/calf area with the laces no matter how narrow or wide your calves are these should fit! Win-Win for everyone!

Worth every penny

Leigh Ann - Los Angeles

I bought my black Sugar boots years ago (2005 or 2007, I can't remember.) Since then they are my most worn winter boots ever. I have walked MILES in them with no foot pain or discomfort. I wore them on my last trip to Prague where we walked 6-10 miles a day. I also wore them all over Amsterdam with 10-12 hours of walking per day with NO foot pain at all. I even prefer to wear them over my athletic running shoes when I go for long hikes! Yes, the arch support and comfort is just that good. These boots are sexy AND super comfy and seriously worth every penny!

Get them!

Elle - Australia

I'm short and have thick calves (13") for my 4'11" height so boots that fit well have been hard to find (gapey at the top or can't zip over my calves since they sit lower in the boot where it can be narrower, compared to a 'normal' heighted person). Bought the 6.5 rather than my normal 6 to be on the safe side especially wearing thicker socks. Size 6 probably would have been perfect. Still roomy in the feet with the 1/2 size up. The laces closed up fully to my surprise, no gape at the top of the boot, no tightness at the calves. The leather is so soft. Absolutely love these.

Love my Ruby Red Boots!

Wendy Royce - New Hampshire

Went to the store in Boston specifically to get these after seeing them online. They are gorgeous, comfortable, and great in slippery weather. Who knew you could look great and not fall down in snow and ice? I always get compliments when I wear them.

Brilliant

Shawna - Victoria

I went to the Granville store hoping to purchase a pair of Elif's. I tried the olive green Elif's on, and as I was turning to check them out the Sugars caught my eye. Of course I had to try them on and it was love. I got the cherry red pair and have worn them to work every day since. They are stable and comfortable and I have had no problems with fit. I am usually an 8 and it did the trick this time. My only problem is that I am spending more time talking to people about my boots than getting work done. Don't hesitate to buy yourself a pair. Worth every penny.

Best boots ever!

Andrea W - Edmonton

Comfy with a rubbery heel that doesn't feel high AND attention-grabbingly sexy! Super versatile--you really can wear them with pants, leggings, skirts and dresses of any length or style (except maybe classic ball gowns). Fits true to non-Fluevog size, with a toe box that is short and wide. I LOVE these boots.

Tawna - Calgary

I bought these babies in red a couple years ago but didn't wear them very often cause I only wear skirts and dresses occasionally. well, after seeing all the fantastic ways the 'everyday Fluevog' people put their outfits together, I decided I needed to get in touch with my girly side and I wear them all the time now. I get compliments CONSTANTLY on these sexy boots!!! I used to look for shoes to go with my outfit but now I look for outfits to go with my shoes! Keep 'em coming John!!!

Amazing boots

Laura Cooper - Tokyo, Japan

I've been salivating over these boots for about two years until one night recently my friend waved a credit card at me and offered to buy them.

The staff in the Boston store were really helpful - sending me photos of what the boots looked like with a leg inside them, and recommended the 8.5 (my other pair are an 8).

They arrived and I took them out to Shibuya for some late night karaoke. Normally I wouldn't risk tottering about in high heels (though everyone else in Tokyo does) but these boots are so comfortable (the bouncy sole is great) that I felt much more confident strutting about with a microphone.

I've got pretty big calves so I re-laced the boots to every other hole which got the laces all the way to the top. I've just bought 7 metres of black ribbon and am going to re-lace with those when I hit a goth club at the weekend.

Thanks for another amazing pair of boots!!

Beautiful!

Ellen - St. Clair Shores, MI

I just received my boots today! They are beautiful! The leather is gorgeous. So far, the fit is fantastic. I wear size 8.5, and they fit true to size. I hate wearing heels, but these seem to be quite comfortable. The lace-ups on the side make the fit nice and snug. And they are super-cute! Very pleased! Worth the price. :-)

favourite boots

annag - Eugene, OR

I purchased these on a whim summer-before-last, when popping into the Seattle Fluevog store (prior to the opening of the wonderful new Portland store!) to try on a different pair of 'vogs, while I considered spending an order of magnitude more than I usually spend on shoes.

They have not let me down. They are remarkably stable and comfortable, and the cutout behind the laces shows off a variety of contrasting socks. Even without brightly-coloured stockings, the beige/taupe piping brings out their unusual shape.

As to fit, the 6 fits me with some room to spare, but nothing that an insole hasn't easily fixed. They are plenty wide for my 6.5w feet, and not overly long. The lacing provides adjustibility and precision of fit, which is great for someone as OCD (or, shall we say, in search of perfection) as myself.

My one concern is that the shoes may outlast their zippers, as some of the stitching is starting to wear on one of the zippers already, but I'm confident the competent Fluvoggian staff will have suggestions, should I call in or visit the new Portland store.

Thank you so much for selling me these shoes!

I <3 Sugar...

Sandy Masuo - Burbank, CA

I had been coveting these boots for some time when a good friend (a VERY good friend) got them for me as a belated B-day gift. They are everything I had hoped for and MORE. Whenever I wear them, people compliment them, and if they don't like them they at least seem startled, which is almost as good as a compliment. And as if being stunning, premium quality (the leather lining is kid skin soft), and a gift weren't enough, they are SUPER comfortable. I wore them to a Dia de los Muertos celebration and was on my feet for hours and they were totally comfortable--WITHOUT SOCKS. I am in luv... @>-

And the heavens sang....

Michelle - Saskatchewan

These are my first Fluevog's and can I just say that I think I have died and gone to heaven @>- . They fit PERFECT. Thank you so much to Brian from the Toronto store for helping me with the sizing (went up a 1/2 size). They are so comfortable and make my calves look AMAZING. oh and the heel... really? They are so comfy it is hard to believe that they have a heel at all...It is such a shame that I work from home an no one will see them tomorrow during the work day... perhaps I will need to go out and show them off...however for tonight I think I will go sleep with my boots!!!

Hot Hot Hot

Cynthia - Macedon Aus

Took my time to decide to buy my Sugars (a year) but on a whim, an urge, I succumbed. I have been rewarded for this moment of desire over rationale so many times and in so many ways..They are so comfortable and easy to wear. They are pure art.. They look so femine in such a don't "mess" with me way..And every time I wear them someone stops me and compliments my Sugars. I'm envied and I adore the attention..They are my 3rd pair of Fluevog's and they won't be my last. Such an investment in style and in my own worth..

The best boots ever!!!

Donna - Juneau Alaska

I love these boots, I have owned them for about three years now and I cannot say enough how comfortable they are and the compliments I get are out of this world. I LOVE THEM!!! @>-

Best boots ever

maria - United States

I saw these a few years ago at the store and loved them. But I always put off buying them thinking I'd find something else I like better or less expensive. I finally bit the bullet and bought these last December. I got the rich, chestnut brown color (that was supposed to be a mistake color, the salesperson told me), but it couldn't have been a more perfect shade of brown for me. LOVE THESE BOOTS ,-)
They are gorgeous and so comfortable. The laces allow for perfect fit around the calf (hard to come by for people with skinny legs). Did I mention the compliments I got everytime I wear these? Worth every penny!

Accommodating

Jessie - Boston, MA

I play roller derby and thus have giant monster calves. Knee-high boots are very, very hard for me to find in sizes that work for me, but these are nicely forgiving. While they don't close by any means (there's about a 4" gap at the top), they look lovely. I was worried that I'd look like I'd beaten up a much smaller woman and stolen her shoes, but when I lace them up corset style (as opposed to the European-style lacing as shown above) they look great. I did need to get longer laces, though.

Love at first wear...

Kerill - Aussie living in Macau

I do think this sums up these boots. I was sooo excited when I pulled them out of the box and they have not let me down at all. Comfort.. ooh yer, considering that they did their first outing walking the streets of Hong Kong for hours on end! They attract attention whenever I wear them and my boss calls me 'super sleek ninja' whenever I am in them.. truly the boots of a chick super hero..now I just have to learn how to be the super hero part!
Five pairs of Fluevogs and going strong! ,->

My Sweet Sugars

BEYOND STYLISH

Victoria DuPree - Georgia, USA

Received my first pair of Fluevog yesterday, Mini-sugar in red. AWESOME. I immediately put them on, re-adjusted the laces, met friends, went out to eat, back for a nightcap, and 7.5 hours later my feet were still NOT hurting, the shoes were still comfortable, REMARKABLE. The main thing is the toe box. It does not touch your toes. There is no mashed toes syndrome, and the laces allow for a perfect fit. These are my first pair, but definitely not my last. Love them.

Gael - Perth, Australia

LOVE MY RED BOOTS!!! FYI If you need longer laces - a UK website shoestringuk has 2.2m/86.5" specimens which I found better than the alternate suggestion of using two laces tied like a corset... But that does work fine too. I just have to decide what pair to buy next!

My love affair!

Ginger Rivera - Puyallup, WA.

My first Fluevog purchase was in the 90's before moving from Vancouver, B.C. I bought the knee high Angels and fell IN LOVE! They were literally my second skin! I then proceeded to buy another 3 pairs of different Fluevogs over a few years and "lost touch". I drove my 1959 Pontiac to Seattle, met my husband swing dancing and got married (he wore Fluevog swordfishes!) and until recently I haven't purchased a pair in sooo long. I sadly had to part ways with one of the loves of my life (my 1959 Pontiac) and decided to treat myself with a pair of the Black Tall Mini Sugars.....to "ease" the pain of my loss. This REALLY helped! They are gorgeous! My NEW second skin. LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They fit great, feel amazing. And the staff from Chicago (where I had to order from) were fantastic. They even sent me candy. How sweet! It's good to be back in touch with Fluevog. I've missed you guys! xoxoxox

Finally, they are mine

Ria - Chicago

About six years ago two pairs of shoes drew me into Fluevog's sphere of influence: the Mini Sugar and the Pinups Miss December. Since then I have picked up nine pairs of Fluevogs, but not the Sugars. Between the pricing, the reviews about sizing, and the chunky soles (I've never been a fan of how the Mini sole is so chunky in comparison to the Mini uppers), I kept putting off the purchase. Black Friday this year did me in, and I am *so* happy I indulged! These are gorgeous boots, and the soles don't detract at all from their glory. They are comfortable, sexy, and eye-grabbing. I sense a photoshoot coming... @>-

In terms of sizing: I am a standard size 8.5 wide in every other brand I own. In Fluevog-sizing I am anywhere from a 9-9.5, depending on the shoe's length and width. In the Sugar I am a size 9; the length is a *perfect* 8.5 (my toe sits exactly where it should in the toebox), and I loosened the lacing on the foot to accommodate my wide foot. I also have muscular calves and had no fit problems after some re-lacing bodice-style (very sexy). Thank you, John, for yet another gorgeous pair of 'Vogs. ,->

I heart John

Julie Beun - Ottawa

I bought these in red after already owning the mini ankle boot and the libby bellevue. the latter isn't as adaptable, but is still lovable. But the red boots are SENSATIONAL and earn comments everywhere I go. I wore them to cover Fashion Week and actually had a fashion blogger ask if she could take me out for a coffee sometime, because "I noticed your boots and thought you have great style". All thanks to you, John.

Ok, these boots are HOT.

Rachel Love - Portland, OR

I am *IN LOVE* with these super hot boots!! I have admired Fluevog's for many years (since my high school days on Haight St) but have never owned a pair... until recently when my interest was re-ignited after randomly shopping the fluevog.com website.

I ran across the Mini Sugar in wine (RED) and couldn't think about anything else until I had them. I was reluctant to order such expensive boots online without first trying them on but I was able to get some of my questions answered by the fabulous Leah and Willy at the Seattle Fluevog store.

Several people have commented that these shoes tend to run a half size small so I ordered a 10 (normally wear 9-9.5). Unfortunately, the 10 were too short so I had to go for the 10.5. I'll repeat, I had to go a *full size larger* in these boots. The beauty in the design is that they are fully adjustable from about the mid-foot to the upper calf because of the corset stitching... <so hot> and functional!!

I should also say that I *never* wear heels, ever. I just don't think they're comfortable. However, these shoes feel great and are very stable; I would highly recommend them, even to people who hate heels.

Ok, I can't say enough good things about these boots. I am in love with them and I'm looking forward to buying their counterpart, the Mini Lovers, next.

Cheers!

Warning...

Kate - Boston

... do not wear these shoes if you're trying to blend into a crowd! Without fail, every time I wear them out I get numerous compliments on how awesome and unique these boots are.

I bought the black pair just over a year ago, and they have surpassed my expectations. They've withstood nasty Boston winters with rain, snow and ice, and have yet to let me down. The heel is super comfortable and the treads grip the ground well. The leather stretched comfortably to contour my calves (and mine are quite muscular).

Price aside, this is probably the most sensible shoe purchase I've ever made. Cannot wait to buy my next pair of Fluevogs!

Karine - Scotland

I'm a musician and bought these in the Boston store late last year for a run of shows at The Cutler Theatre in town. I'd been waiting years to visit a store as there aren't any in the UK. The boots made a big impact - even meriting their own special mention in The Boston Globe! They're sassy and really comfy. I love them. Got my eyes on several other pairs but will have to wait til my next North American trip. Come on give us a store in London, Glasgow or Edinburgh please!!

Love at first lust :P

Janeen - Boston, Massachusetts

So I have been a lover of fluvogs for years and year and years..but i never really indulged until i met these and then i waited.. well truthfully i assumed they wouldnt fit that that my curvy calves and beyond the average wide feet would just have to continue to suffer without. HA! Well the friday before JF's aniversay I went to the Boston store, on Newbury st., and was gently convinced by Rachel to try on the red ones at size 12 and perfecto.. I nearly shed a tear I was so elated and went from lusting these beauties to falling in love...my feet danced as they never had before and the curves of my steely calves flexed in triumph
:-D I bought them the next day at JF's brithday celebration.. the next week I was back and bought them in black.
THANK YOU to JF, Rachel and the rest of the Boston gang.. YOU ROCK and now I do too!
Now 'all' I need is a shoe from the mini line that will fit my high instep and wide foot ...

these are made of pure self-esteem!

Feather - Seattle

I bought these at the Seattle store last Saturday, and I simply couldn't wait til I got home to put them on. I entered a local department store's bathroom and did a quick change of shoes and outfit. The very moment I stepped out of the bathroom, a man commented on my boots. I've worn them nearly every day since (including marching comfortably in Seattle's Pride Parade last Sunday), and I get complimented everywhere I go. People actually called out "I love your BOOTS!" during the parade! Not only are they the comfiest heels I own, they are definite show-stoppers! :-D

the waiting game

katie - oakland

i just brought these beautiful red boots home after many months on layaway. i bought them for my wedding and it's killing me to keep them in my closet until then! i've been eyeing these forever, and i finally had an excuse to splurge on boots. we are getting married outdoors in yosemite and i know these heels will look fantastic as well as being comfortable enough to climb around in. (i own the lily darlings as well) can't wait to break in my 8th pair of fluevogs! oh and live happily ever after....

Will trade for food...

Show Stoppers!

Telisha Williams - Martinsville, VA

I am a musician. These boots (in red) are my most favorite "show shoes!" I can't tell you how many times I have been stopped at the merchandise table and asked by people if they could take a picture of my boots. They are fantastic! They're sexy, comfortable, and striking. I pair them with a black dress and fishnets or knee highs. Not only do they look great on stage, but wearing them makes me feel great, too. . . a showstopping combination!

The boots are prominently featured in all of our promotional material. Check us out at www.DandTW.com!

Traffic Stoppers!

Marisa - Alameda, CA

As I waited for a different bus, a woman on the bus that was just leaving started banging on the window. I looked up to see her pointing at my feet, mouthing the words "Nice Shoes!"

And that's just one of the funnier times these shoes have been complimented.

They're incredibly comfortable and I always get compliments when I wear them.

sexy sexy sexy boots! :-D Just bought these in wine/red, and can't wait to wear them out in public!

sexy superhero boots

Branda - Seattle, WA

I got these boots in the Seattle store just a couple months ago, and find that I am now planning my entire wardrobe around what will look good with my Sugars. tee hee! Love these boots, got them in red, and I feel absolutely amazing when I wear them. They are comfy, for me true to size, and took no break in time. I have wide calves, and love these because I can adjust the side lacing to fit. You can't have the shaft stretched on these...the store salesman told me that would just break the laces, but they look wonderful with a few inches of leg peeking through the lacing on the side. It's a corset-like effect and very sexy. I have never spent this much on shoes before...but I'm already shopping for my next pair of vogs.

Give me some sugar!

Amy - San Francisco

I had gone to the SF Fluevog store with friend, not planning on buying anything, because I was leaving for Brazil in a few weeks for the winter. Not only did I buy the Mini Sugars, but came back a week later to get another different pair. Brought both to Brazil! I feel like a superhero in these boots! They are super comfy and and super sexy. Can't wait to buy some new Fluevogs for the spring!

All women need a pair of red boots

I've been in love with these boots in red for years, ever since stumbling across Fluevogs. (Through of all things, a knitting website.) I pined, I lusted, I was convinced there was no way I could ever drop so much on shoes. After all, I was never into shoes. But then I went to Boston this past spring to visit friends, and managed to swing into the store. It's a great store, with amazing staff. And, of course, the best boots - worth every single penny. Two days after I bought them, I ended up running full-tilt across the Charlotte airport, and they were perfectly comfortable the entire time. Even caught my plane!

love, at last.

this boots, these boots were supposed to be my first fluevog purchase- that was oh, eight years and about as many shoes ago. i finally buckled down to drop for boots, since i love them so much. why did i wait, i have no idea..bellevues, here i come. thanks muchly to the lovely guy at the granville store who laced my boots with long laces for me as well as dealing with a crazy girl in love with boots who had a debit card that didn't agree with her. i'm smitten. and rambling, i love you fluevogs, mini sugars are a perfect fit. <3

Sexy but Functional

Holly - Seattle

Just got these and I have to say they're amazing. First, the styling is dead sexy but in a subtle way that lets you wear them just about anywhere. I also have larger calves (I guess?) and the reviewer that suggests using two sets of laces is awesome- thank you! I found that relacing them corset-style was the best look with the gap left. In fact I like the way they look with a 2-3in gap corset-laced better than the original/pictured look. The comfort of these boots is unbelievable. My first pair of Minis (oh, but not the last!) and I'm hooked. They are the only true heels I've ever worn that are actually comfortable and that I can walk in for miles. For me, the sizing ran true- I'm a 7 usually and the 7s were absolutely perfect. Oh and the other cool thing about the styling- as is the case with lots of Fluevogs- is that they're so unique they don't look dated in 5 or 10 years. (And they'll probably last that long if they're like any of the other Fluevog boots I've worn forever.) They just are their own thing, and I love them!

Re: Larger Calves

Jodi - Toronto

If you do have larger calves & you really want to buy these wonderfull boots I have this suggestion. Buy an extra set of laces. You'd have to take out the laces in the boots, tie the 2 laces together & then relace them. That's what I had to do. Thanks to the guys at the Toronto store for giving me the idea. It totally works. Now the boots look even sexier.

Bigger calves be careful

Jessica - Los Angeles

After reading the reviews here that these were good for girls with athletic calves, I went to the store in LA and Anthony was very very helpful - but there was a good 3-4 inches around my 12 inch circumference calves that wasn't covered, which kinda ruins the look of these gorgeous boots. (:`( The Xie Xie's are a bit more forgiving for those in my calf size dilemma, though I ended up with a pair of QTees (also lovely!)

i'm addicted

Chris - los angeles

i'm addicted to fluevogs! when the store opened down the street from me, i didn't really think much about it... but one day i noticed a line of people snaking around the block (must have been a sale), so i checked out the reviews here on the site. i then purchased my first pair of fluevogs... the zaza minis. a week later i bought the sugars. i LOVE these boots. the salesman at the store adjusted the laces for me, so they fit perfectly. the first 2 times i wore them, they were a little snug, but very comfortable. by the third time they had stretched a bit, and they are now so comfy i want to wear them to bed with my pajamas! i'm pretty sure when a girl refuses to remove her fluevogs, it means she's addicted. :-D

Sugar boots sizing comment

Janet Lynn - Alberta

I love the Minis--they are my favourite family! However, the sizing seems kind of all over the place. I have a wide foot and very high arch, so I wear a 10 in the Lily Darling, a 10 in the Q-Tee, a 10.5 in the Gorgeous, and an 11 in the Sugar boots. I like the boots to fit a little looser for comfort and to wear a sock, so going up a size is perfect. That said, they are lot loose by any stretch of the imagination, as you can lace them up to fit the top of the foot and the ankle perfectly. I originally bought a size 10 Sugar boot, but had to sell it to a friend. She's normally a 9 with a narrow foot, and the 10 sugar fit her perfectly. I'm normally a 10 in everything except for the Sugar boot. They are the best!

the only boots for me!

Evelyn - Toronto

Finally, John Fluevog... boots for a girl with larger calves. I've tried the rest, I've been encouraged to have leather stretched but they are not anywhere close to fitting. With these, I can finally have a pair of your gorgeous boots of my own -- stretched the leather, switched to the longest laces available and leave them laced open wide and voila.... the most traffic-stopping boots in my wardrobe. As mentioned, heels are extremely comfortable and foot a perfect fit -- wore them for an entire night (morning!) out on the first try with complete comfort. I do hope you will introduce a few more styles with bigger or adjustable calve sizes for those of us blessed/cursed with 16" there. Until then, I love these boots. Thank you.

I have 2 pairs of Fluevog shoes and decided it was time for boots! I was in NY in May, while my friends shopped till the dropped! I had decided that the only shop that I'll be visiting was John Fleuvogs SoHo. Alas, I didn't go until my last day [saving the highlight of the trip to last, and probably saved me a small fortune] The experience was divine!! I chose my wine mini F boots. I have "fat" calves, so the charming sales assistant [forget his name] laced up two other sets of laces in order to allow me and my calves to snuggle the boots. I was in his shop 2 hours, I was treated like a princess and while he laced up my booties I tried nearly all the shoes on in the shop. Paradise!!. They are soft, bouncy, comfy, fab, sexy and simply the most amazing pair of boots that I have ever worn. I was stopped in shops by sales staff asking where I got them. All,and I mean ALL my colleagues are coveting them, and every one one of patients are in awe!!! tee hee, good eh!! Me, I'm in heaven. I walk with confidence and a bit of attitude and I love it!! Thank you!!

So sad....

HH - Norcal

I WANT to love these boots. Really, I do. I had pined for them for years before I was finally blessed with enough cash to buy these. I got them in April and was SO EXCITED... but here's the thing. I've worn them a handful of times and each time I end up with absolutely horrible pain. Not in my feet --the other reviews are very accurate in the foot comfort. The problem is the zippers: no amount of force, torture, or circulation inhibiting tightness can get them to lay smooth against my leg (I have tried everything) and around the ankle the zipper gets lumpy, bunching up, and putting angry pressure right on my ankle bone. I am bruised every time I wear these (both loosely or tightly laced) and then cannot wear them for another week or so, or will be subject to eye-crossing pain in less than an hour. Maybe there is something wrong with my legs? I absolutely cannot get them to fit gently around my ankles. I am very disappointed because I thought these were the perfect boot for me, and very disappointed because of the major cash down the drain. I still love Fluevogs and think they are quality, but won't be buying any more boots from them. (:`(

Greg

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the zipper pain. Try lacing the boot in a different pattern, as it may smooth out the boot and stop the zipper from digging into your leg. If you are near a Fluevog store, ask one of the staff to soften up the leather, which might might prevent the leather from wrinkling forcing the zipper into your leg.

A little effort goes a long way

Carrie - Portland, Oregon

These boots are the only shoes I will ever truly love :) They are very comfortable and stable. I'm the girl who hates heels, but these make me swoon. I'll agree with some of the other comments, I wish I'd gone to the store to have the laces done. I have pretty athletic legs and it was hard to get the right fit. But I found my own way and even taught myself to do euro-lacing! but i might go to a Vog store to get them laced all proper. Also, the gorgeous leather on these is so soft and supple be careful, scratches happen easily and permanently. Wear with care. but do, do wear these :) the effort is totally worth it! xo!

THESE SHOES ARE LOVE!!!!!

Doria - Seattle

I bought these at the Seattle store where they adjusted the laces for me, then a week later I spent 7 hours walking around in these with very little foot pain (only that common with walking for 7 hours)and I wear this when ever I get the chance though I love wearing them with striped socks or leggings! :-D

Shannon - St. Louis

The worst part about these sexy boots is getting the laces adjusted. Once you get that done these are great. I ended up doing an over/under lace up instead of Euro since I was having issues getting the proper fit with the Euro lacing and they still look great. I bought a size up from my street shoe size and the leather will stretch over time. Great quality, you just have to get used to so many different pressure points at once.

Megan - Port Angeles

I was totally excited to buy this shoe b/c it is super cute and it got awesome reviews. However, I was sorely disappointed when the shoes arrived. They weren't nearly as comfortable as they are led on to be, my toes were covered in blisters after wearing them for a short time. And to top it off the zipper broke. For as expensive as these shoes are there sure wasn't a lot of quality control.

Greg

That doesn't sound right! Please contact the store that sent them to you and they will handle it from there.

Red hot!

Darla Martini - jasper, alberta

Wow! I love these boots! They are a sexy, fashion statement in my little town and add a little excitement to my life... time to order the beautiful, blue new angels to replace the ones I had in the '80's....lol!

I am in love...

Jen

I have had these shoes for almost 2 months now, and I love them. I wear them with leggings and they look really awesome! I get so many compliments on these boots and I can't wait to add to my Fluevog collection! :-D

Love At First Sight!

crimsonangel - Ontario, Canada

The first time I went into my local Fluevog store, I saw these boots & knew that I had to have'em. I had to bide my time cause they weren't stocked in my size. So I did!!!! And oh were they worth the wait. I bought the Wine/Black & I love them. On me they do fit a little tight in the ankle area but I know with time they will stretch. It was the corsetted effect that pulled me in. These are my first pair of Vog's.....SO FAR! :-D

Oh my WAY too cute....

Emily - Az

I can't handle it... I will eventually go totally broke because I cannot physically get enough mini Fluevog's, seriously. I have literally run through fields of grass in them with no problem what so ever! Other women totally envy me and I have to explain to that they too can be amazing and look fabulous doing it ,->

Pippi - DC

John, you need to start paying me. I am literally a walking, talking billboard for your boots. I now own 4 pairs of boots now. These are one pair. They also stop traffic. It's the peek-a-boo laces. And the color of sin. Great with dresses, super cute with jeans. AND you can dance all night in them. Trust me.

Yogini - Chicago

These are my second pair of Fluevogs - heels can finally be comfortable! Right after I bought these I was traveling to New York and I decided to wear them. So, yes, it is possible to wear these all day through O'Hare and then LaGuardia, and to remove them and then put them on with one hand while holding a scared cat in the other (& looking quite fabulous)! LOVE these boots!

Best boots on the planet

Nicole - Seattle

I wore high heels about twice a year before this purchase, and I have to say as soon as I tried these boots on, my feet fell in love.
These boots are so comfortable, I can wear them all day long - I can walk miles in them (literally) and I'm never uncomfortable. I get so many compliments (from random men and women alike) on these boots I feel like a superstar!
Thanks Fluevog,
Nicole

I've had these boots for a few years now & take good care of them so that I'll always be blessed! They're beautiful & comfortable. People compliment them wherever I show up. They're quiet, so everyone can't hear me rushing down the road.

Love at first sight!!

Donna Bell - Juneau, Alaska

@>- These boots are so fabulous, my daughter and I both have these boots and love, love them. :-D

Best. Boot. Evar.

Jocelyn - Albany, CA

I lusted after these boots for quite sometime before buying them for my wedding.
I know a lot of women buy two pairs of shoes to wear on the big day - the showy pair and the comfortable pair. With my red Mini boots I didn't have to worry about that at all. I had happy feet all day and I can't even count the times that I had to pull up my skirt to show them off.
They are beautiful, comfortable, and I get to wear my wedding shoes over and over again! :-)

These boots are made for ...

Michele Casey - Northern California

I bought my first pair of Sugars shortly after my son was born and then my feet shrank almost a full size. I ended up buying a second pair - in black. Last year the red ones came out ... I ordered them the minute I saw them :)

For a previous job, I used to commute every week down to LA. I wore my Sugars for traveling - super easy to take on and off, easy to run in when connecting flights were running late. I could wear them both to work and then after if I wanted to dress up.

These boots are incredibly versatile and comfortable ... oh and VERY sexy :)
